Sounds expensive! Unfortunately dogs are often expected to be satisfied doing 'nothing' through the day but their behaviour can tell us if their environment is meeting their needs. A bored dog left to find its own entertainment will often find something we don't like, barking, running a fence line, digging, destroying things etc. For the sake of the dogs mental health it pays to reassess what's going on if you repeatedly see the same thing happening. Being a young active dog and as TSD says he's possibly looking for mental enrichment. Wanting to rip and shred might be his 'thing' or its all he can find to do? Maybe check out this great site for DIY ideas on boredom busters? It can be a tough job meeting a dogs needs every day but it's important we do. Good luck!

Are you able to share the breed or problem the dog has? Some issues are bought on or exacerbated because of environmental reasons not genetic.

 

Did you check if the breeder health tested their breeding dogs for known genetic problems? Was the breeder where you were buying for breeding purposes yourself?

He's is SO cute! 

Look at them being good dogs not eating their birthday hats lol

What an interesting photo. Surely that's not a hand on an elephants skin? 

Great reminder of those cute little toes 

 

Mine is of some snacks we have ripening. This bunch has been off the tree for at least four weeks and just starting to yellow. I'm sure they'll all ripen at once 

 

 

Fabulous idea, thank you so much!! 

Lovely shot of the apostle bird Perse. 

 

Bella's just gorgeous! 

 

When you have more fun with clay than your nieces you're entertaining lol

 

 

Late for last week's photo sorry. Another lovely warm day on the Gold Coast.  Most beaches need life guards all year round, some are professional but many are volunteers too.  

 

 

Great photos everyone!

In saying that your description of life at the moment made me feel anxious for you Perse.  Bit of a worry with winter coming to an end which is when you could normally at least expect decent rain. 

Well they're listening very intently so she must have been serious lol

I'm late again for last week's photo. This was a little face I unexpectedly spied at the supermarket! It ended up being my neighbour taking her new puppy to the vet and stopping at the supermarket on the way home. Not entirely sure pup was comfortable but he had a sweet little face all the same. 

 

 

Fantastic photos everyone. Loved them all! 

 

I had breakfast in a cafe this morning and didn't realise until the way out the art work on the wall was made from tea bag labels lol. 

 

 

Great photos everyone! Just love those adorable babies. 

 

Mine is of a UK phone box sitting far from home, half way down a driveway in Oz. Bought over by a wealthy UK gentleman who follows the warmer months between UK and Australia and wanted something to remind him of home! 

 

 

 

 

Share your desert with meeeee

 

 

 

The avo face.. omg so cute!! 

 

Awww Bonnie still has lovely bright eyes!

 

 

Beautiful! @persephone

Went to sushi last night and came out to find what looked like a mini tank parked near us! Two guys came out, one opened the top and climbed inside and the second sat up high on the outside and they drove away. The finale was a massive back fire which gave everyone watching a fright lol

 

 

Gorgeous @persephone. Do they have many predators out your way? 

No that's not bark on my lip lol. Little bugger!

 

Mine is an unexpected visitor. Luckily a baby red bellied black who was quite annoyed at us trying to get him on the shovel. He had his head and neck flattened and I was very glad he was so small.

 

I put something down on the ground and saw a disappearing tail behind another box. Always a heart stopper! 

 

 

 

 

Fantastic photos! 

Mines a bit blurry because we were moving but spent a 40th birthday on a luxury boat travelling around the Gold Coast Saturday night. Verrrry fresh on the top deck!  

 

 

Lovely Perse! Love the cute sticky up tail on Mr Feral. 

But of a different one this week I sanded and waxed an old hardwood table this weekend. I quite like the unique patterns I ended up with. 

 

 

Wow great shots and awesome camera @grizabella. Really looking forward to seeing your photos!
